This is a slow moving thread of screaming and horrified city gates. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa #ScreamingCityGates

And even in a department that was overwhelmingly female (excluding emeriti), if male associates didn’t do the extra labor, it did not hurt their chance at TT, but if female associates didn’t donate their time, they wouldn’t get consideration for TT.

CEO: awesome, I’ve fired my entire staff, how quickly can it start diagnosing medical disorders
